It was a wonderful experience to perform Tchaikovsky’s third piano concerto with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Kazuyoshi Akiyama.
The 3rd piano concerto is Tchaikovsky’s last composition and is rarely played. First conceived as the 7th symphony, it took a winding path to become a piano concerto. It is a mysterious work, but it’s filled with noble and proud Tchaikovsky sound. It was a gift to get to work on this rare piece with the amazing orchestra!! Magnificent orchestral sound still ringing in my ears.
